Goals for next time get some momentum going, another 300–500 words tomorrow

My Triumphant Return to Bloggin’

December 16, 2007

OK, not so much triumphant, but at least I’m going to be writing again and, after this small indulgence, I won’t be writing about how I’m going to be writing. In any case, my comittment to writing has been renewed, not by any particular but by slowly excavating the ice and snow that’s been accumulating around my brain and preventing any forward progress.

The literal accumulation of ice and snow around my physical body doesn’t hurt any, now I don’t have any place to go, except the man cave. My son hates it when I call the basement that, but we’ve got the computer and the weight bench set up down here and no one else tends to come down here.

The one catch is that the man cave is unheated so I can only write until I loose feeling in my fingers, then my spelling goes to hell.
